Yahoo! Messenger 3 adds voice, in beta

Our friends on the Yahoo! Messenger team dropped us a note alerting us to their newly released Yahoo! Messenger 3 Beta 3 for the Mac. What's the big news with this beta? As you might recall previous betas made Messenger a Universal Binary and added tabbed chats. New in this beta: voice calling.

That's right, you can now do the following with Yahoo! Messenger, just like our Windows running comrades:

Make free computer to computer calls

Sign up for a Phone Out account which will allow you to call regular phones with Yahoo! Messenger

Send free text messages to cell phones (though the receiver might get charged for the text)

Receive calls from phones on your Mac if you have a Phone In account (these accounts aren't free)
